Ersan Ilyasova agrees with Hawks on one-year, $6 million deal

Ersan Ilyasova has agreed to stay with the Atlanta Hawks on a one-year deal worth $6 million, according to a report by The Vertical.

Ilyasova, a 30-year-old forward who has played nine NBA seasons, averaged 13.1 points and 5.9 rebounds in 2016-17 while playing for the Thunder, 76ers and Hawks. He has played for six teams since the start of the 2014-15 season.

The Thunder, who dealt for Ilyasvoa in the summer of 2016, traded him to Philadelphia after just three regular-season appearances. At February's trade deadline, Ilyasova got moved for the fourth time in a little over a year when the 76ers dealt him to the Hawks for Tiago Splitter and two future second-round picks.

With Atlanta, Ilyasova averaged 10.4 points and 5.8 rebounds over 24.3 minutes per game. A native of Turkey, he averaged just four points and 5.2 rebounds over 15 minutes in six playoff appearances for the Hawks.

Ilyasova signed a four-year, $50 million contract with the Milwaukee Bucks in July 2012 before being traded away in June 2015. Ilyasova earned $8.4 million in the final year of that pact last season.

Ilyasova was ranked No. 27 on the list of top available free agents compiled by ESPN's Kevin Pelton.

Information from ESPN's Chris Forsberg was used in this report.
